Phil Deakins Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Either I've missed it completely, or it doesn't exist, but I can't see a way to reply to a specific post. I can only see a way to reply to the thread as a whole. If it doesn't exist, it's a serious omission, imo, especially since posts show no indication as to which post (or person) is being replied to unless it is quoted. I don't like that at all.

Whirly Fizzle Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I can't see a way either Phill. I guess quoting the post you are replying to works ok though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Zhaoying Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I hadn't used quoting on the old site, when I tried it on this one I was frustrated to learn that you have to type stuff FIRST before you paste the quote or it wouldn't let me type anything after I pasted the quote. Seemed a bit backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the forum as flat so any reply goes on the bottom. Hitting the Quote is the only way I see to denote who you are commenting to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Deakins Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) I'm imagining the confusion that will be generated in the GD sub-forum, which often has threads in which multiple discussions are occuring simultaneously. I can envisage fights breaking out right left and centre when people assume that a reply is meant for them when it was a reply to an earlier post Edited March 15, 2017 by Phil Deakins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now my question is, does the quote of the mention generate another mention? Edited March 15, 2017 by Dante Tucker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Deakins Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) I'd thought of that before. It's another method, but still not as good as the real thing. I also received a notification that I'd been mentioned in a post but I didn't put 2 and 2 together when I saw the @Phil Deakins in your post Dante. It took a real brain like yours to join them up Edited March 15, 2017 by Phil Deakins typos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Deakins Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 There is no way to delete a post. The best you can do is remove the content before the 24 hours is up, and replace it with something like, 'Just ignore and let this one die' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
